Month: March 2020

Welcome back, Division 4 families! And to a new way of doing things…

I’m sure you have many questions! I will be contacting families this week (Thursday or Friday) in order to better assess our various situations. In the meantime, please read my Spring Newsletter.

I have sent this newsletter to all Division 4 families. A couple emails have bounced back already, so please check your inboxes and contact me by email if you have updated information to share with me. 

I look forward to our chats!

Students: please don’t forget to video or photograph your science investigations in progress. This will be helpful when posting your progress and results to your Blogfolios!

With extra time on your hands, remember: duplicate experiments (additional trials) add credibility to your results. Try it again! Did you get the same results?

Do you need to change your procedure? You have time to do so! Be sure sure to record all changed procedures. Label you’re trials (Trial 1. Date, Trial 2. Date, Trail 3. Date, etc). 

I look forward to seeing your results posted online next month! 

Stay positive: be safe!

Spring Break is here, and students and families are encouraged to take the time to enjoy each other and the great weather!

I know there is uncertainty and worry due to COVID-19; we all have questions as to what’s next.  For now, enjoy your spring break and continue to practice healthy social distancing and good hand-washing techniques. Remember, self-isolation does not mean we can’t go outside to enjoy some fresh air! We just must do so wisely. For more information, please visit: Fraser Health Authority

The provincial government announced today that all classes K-12 will be suspended until further notice. Many questions remain to be answered. In the coming days and weeks we will hear more about what is to come. Burnaby School District is currently preparing solutions to support the continuity of learning for students post-spring break. Info will be sent to families and staff as quickly as possible.

For now, enjoy your spring break!
